They even refunded shipping for one item that I had purchased through Amazon but shipped from target.com because it now qualified for the free shipping. This is an amazing savings and that $40 is on purchases totaling just more than $150. I only wish I had ever known Amazon offers these price protections. I have been shopping there for nearly 10 years, I could have saved hundreds! I read about this on your site last week, and so far have had more than $40 refunded from Amazon in price drops.

I got back $27.00 on my very first purchase entered the first week! I posted about it on my own blog, and some of my readers, in turn, thanked me, because they, too, had saved money. One got $50 back from Amazon the 29th day, one day before Payment Protection would have expired. She never would have known about it without your post alerting me to Payment Protectr. I am definitely going to be using this site often! Thanks so much for this wonderful tip. I got back $27.00 on my very first purchase entered the first week!

It hasn't saved me any money yet... but that's probably because I only buy when I'm pretty sure I'm getting the best deal I could likely get over the next 30 days. :-) But it is neat and I expect to use it all the time.

(It even worked one time when I was actually asking on the 31st day!) This is especially valuable when you buy electronics since they tend to depreciate rapidly. I'm sure it's also useful when buying Christmas gifts, as they are often for sale for less after the holidays. Remember that with Amazon you can request refunds multiple times, too. So if it drops $10, request that refund. Then if it goes up, you still have the money. If it goes down more, you can request a second refund.

The stores count on you to be too lazy to see if anyone has a better price. My Wife has saved over $30 by checking back on websites (amazon, target, circuit city)to see if prices have changed. Amazon tends to have some periodic change in pricing for items (ie. bought book for $50 and week later they were on $10 less. Went back to normal price after that week). I will definitely try this thing out! Price protection is amazing. The stores count on you to be too lazy to see if anyone has a better price.
